Since it is impossible to avoid the production of free radicals, the body has the capacity to produce some antioxidants itself. However, we need to get other antioxidants such as vitamin C and selenium through our diet.
In some circumstances, our body could use some help to neutralize more free radicals. For example, when we come into more contact with toxic substances from the environment, such as exhaust fumes or chemical cleaning products, but also with an unbalanced diet with too much ultra-processed food or when we are subject to oxidative stress due to a busy lifestyle.
When smoking, your body ingests a lot of harmful substances, which, among other things, causes the formation of free radicals. The smoke also breaks down some of our own antioxidants. As a result, you may experience more oxidative damage, which can lead to faster cell aging.
People who sunbathe for too long without proper protection come into direct contact with an excess of UV rays. The free radicals formed in the skin can lead to faster skin aging.
Exercise in itself is certainly healthy. On the other hand, athletes have a higher oxygen consumption and therefore a greater risk of free radical formation. That is why people who exercise intensively may benefit from extra antioxidants.
Waste products circulate in our body and are excreted by our body, but some of them can be stored in the fatty tissue. During a diet in which we lose fat mass, the stored waste products are also released. A well-functioning antioxidant system supports the associated oxidative stress process.
During stressful situations, both physically and mentally, our energy levels can be affected. Then vitamin C becomes our ideal partner for both its antioxidant effect and its contribution to our energy-yielding metabolism.
In High Tech AOX we bring different antioxidants together in one product. In this way we obtain, as it were, a superior antioxidant formula.
